      @brotherknight9484 Paganism is inherently right wing by today's standards. Today's society is very left leaning especially compared to the society our ancestors lived in. So to be a left wing Pagan in modern times is an oxymoron. "Reactionaries" is a far right ideology that wants to return to older times and traditions. So listening to a Pagan with a right wing bias makes more sense than the opposite.

    Has there ever been any evidence of exposure to the elements for body’s for the decay process surrounding these boats? I think you have mentioned that the bones of the dead were often collected by the living & extenuation would be a potential practice with such a custom. The boat’s would be a spectacular place for such a practice too. Quite beautiful indeed.

    Beside the Stones boats we also have the domarringarna (judge rings), they are most of the times a circle of stones, most common have 9 stones but there's also with 3 stones, 7 stones. These are burials but in early arcelogicy the arcelogics thought it were where they held þings and stuff. But today the arcelogics don't think they were used in that way.

    My favourite ship burial is definitely the one in Kaupang/Skiringsal where a ship burial is placed over an earlier burrow containing a single man. In the ship on the other hand there are a man, a woman and a child in the middle and in the back with the rudder in her arms is a völva with a shield, a magical staff and a bowl with the head of a dog in it. In front of her is a horse that they cut in four pieces and then reassembled. Obviously it must have been intended that the völva should steer the ship between worlds.

  • @Perspectiveon
    @Perspectiveon 2 месяца назад

    When Iceland was populated stoneships had gone out of use (late 9th century). Burial rites are described in the Icelandic sagas - setting ablaze a ship containing the deceased. Consensus on the Jelling stoneship - 1,161 ft from stern to bow, longest ever discovered - is it's much older than the mound of King Gorm (died 958 ad) placed in its center. DK general perception; stoneships are almost entirely associated with burials as a (symbolic) mode of transportation in the eternal afterlife just like shipburials containing horses. Related to Sutton Hoo shipburial (around 600 ad) people tend to overlook connections between Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians of the time who are peoples of same origin, sharing language and beliefs, migration seperating them only a few generations old and contacts more frequent than commonly believed evident by archeological finds.

    Great content gentlemen! I understand the incontrovertible association of the stone ship settings with actual ships. However, I feel that the 'vesica piscis' shape may (also) be symbolic of the vagina, i e. the dead awating rebirth in the 'womb' of the Earth Mother. This interpretation is certainly consistent with other Indo-European religious beliefs.
    Highly speculative, I know, but the two associations are not mutually exclusive. Thank you again for the splendid video. ~ Dr. A. Nichols

    Hi Guys and thanks for this video podcast.
    Just think of it: There is NO WAYS anyone can get the idea of the Sun being pulled of anything in the daytime - and the so called “Sun-Wheel” specifically represent a center of rotation and not the Sun on its path of rising and setting.
    We´re dealing with a NOCTURNAL imagery of rotation and the ONLY possibility is the Earth´s axis and its celestial POLE WHEEL around which all stars and constellations seemingly are orbiting. This wheel can LOGICALLY be imagined and told pulled around by the nearby animal Star Constellations.
    When someone is buried inside or nearby a Stone Ship with some grave goods , it is not for “using a ship to the Underworld or Otherworld”, but for the ritual remembrance of the telling of the Cycle of Life and for the respect of the dead person.
    Our ancestors were perfectly aware of the spirit leaving the body by death and having the spirit to be totally free in the macrocosmic realms after death.
    Regarding the origin of the Stone Ships, this also stems from a NOCTURNAL observation, namely of the crescent shape of the vaulting Milky Way contours which can be observed in the 9-month darker annual period.
    The Bronze Age ships as Petroglyphs or Rock Art, are initially stylized figures of the Milky Way contours carved in the darker seasons and pointing to several directions, and this figure gave humans the inspirations to build real boats.
    By the way, in the Baltic Island of Bornholm, Denmark, where I live, we also have several Stone Ships and lots of Rock Art from the Stone- and Bronze Age.

    Great video. Glad to see both channels collaborate. I watch both on occasion. Lately I've been wondering if anyone else has difficulty reconciling their Norse Pagan beliefs with scientific understanding or other belief systems. For example, how does modern archeology and astronomy play into your own practice and belief system? Does anyone else think that the Bible creation myth makes more scientific sense than the Old Norse creation myth? Regarding such things as a great flood, the theory of evolution, etc. Or has anyone started doing deeper research into the scientific evidence behind Old Norse mythology? Sort of like how there's a strong debate between Creationist science and Evolution science, both trying to use fossil evidence and other scientific methods to support their point of views. Someone should try to do that with Norse Pagan science, as I'm sure even the Vikings would have questioned the world from a scientific approach and tried to make sense of it. Old Norse mythology has a flood myth. It also has dragons, which some Creationists argue were dinosaurs. It would be pretty neat if someone tried to find more scientific evidence for the Old Norse myths. For centuries everyone thought Troy was a myth. Troy is also mentioned in the Prose Edda before its discovery was made by archeologists. How much is myth? And how much is supported by scientific evidence?

    This to me looks more like something that was used to hold the ship while it was built.
    Some of these are boat sized.
    I guess the other parts used were made of wood and decayed over time.
    Couldn't it be that the people using these ships often died, some of them being raiders? Which is why these were found close to burial places.
    But that doesn't rule out the possibility of them also having been used for rituals back then.

    I think if there has been no conquest or adoption of Abrahamic cults then Europe would have developed a cyclical, Dharmic type, religion. There probably would have been offshoots but some commonalities probably would have been further established between the Europeans of Steppe ancestry and probably the Uralic speakers too. I respect those who want to stick to Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic, Latin, Slavic, etc. but if we are serious about renewing the ancestral culture of Europe then building a common European religion and network of temples is needed, extending to the Americas and all of the Anglo sphere. I think the Hellenic motif is most familiar and appealing to those with little knowledge of their ancestry. So I think using a neo classical motif for the main temple is best and the other styles can be incorporated. The temples should be away from cities but within about 90 minutes drive from urban centers. I have some ideas and designs if anyone is interested. I plan to start making videos in the next year but also have a variety of other projects and a full time job so any collaboration would be welcome.

    Its maybe telling a story also as much as it is keeping traditions going. We came from the East with horses, then they must have crossed the water on boats. Maybe they are telling the story of their ancestors of where they came from as much as they are holding people to account in front of their ancestors. Maybe some kind of corruption of the passage through the underworld would happen if people lied at the 'thing'. People from that time put huge emphasis on their word, to a Viking being an oath breaker meant you would have no standing in a Viking world amongst your people. I think this in an evolution of the thing and the politics and business being taken care of in front of their ancestors so to lie in front of them was a really bad thing.

    To Norse magic and belief:
    I do not like you, Norse Magic and belief, because you cannot answer a flipping question on trolls. Also you do not know a thing about trolls.
    Troll: means variety of meanings combined listed.
    - [ ] dreadful to behold over the realm of the jotun”
    - [ ] “the insatiable greediness of jotuns”
    - [ ] “the menacing happening believed to be a sign or warning of some future event of seeing sunshine during a hail storm”
    - [ ] “A familiar of a witch or warlock,
    - [ ] “Something that brings death and makes sure you stay dead,
    - [ ] “A situation with nighttime,
    - [ ] A situation with sleep paralysis,”
    - [ ] ,”a situation with wind and rain,”.
    Troll is all of these characteristics combined.
    If this is not the answer than what is?

    In order to be a real European pagan, you need to have a brow ridge and eyes that don't show your upper eyelid.
